I lied in the headline. Statistics are in fact, well, a fact. But my point is that the way people use stats are opinionated. I'll use the hotly debated Cy Young award as an example. Here's a statement that is false: "Stats are stats...

Who's Hot *New rules: SP must have pitched good (QS) in back-to-back starts, minimum 10 ABsSS Brendan Ryan- This was a close one for me. He only managed one RBI, one steal, and struck out a whopping five times in seven games...

Since I regrettably am not a hockey fanatic, I cannot spend my time dissecting each team like I did for NBA. The difference between the two leagues is NBA players are well-known while the NHL has more of a team nucleus...

Big East I will start with the Big East since they have already played two rounds, but it seems like it just began with DePaul, St. John's, Cincinnati, Seton Hall, and South Florida out of the picture...

The Missouri Tigers have fooled us before, but the difference this season is that they are winning in conference play. In seasons past (as well as this one), the Tigers have had a relatively easy non-conference schedule to raise their win total...

In Part 1 of the six-part installment, I will analyze the players themselves, but not the teams that draft the players. In the January edition, I will scout the first round players as ranked by ESPN...

The only certain thing about the NFL Playoffs in 2008 is uncertainty. In the first two weeks, only three favored team, ranking wise, won their respective games. Plus the supposedly overrated Arizona Cardinals beat the Falcons in Week One...

The St. Louis Rams will go 5-11, because of their tough schedule to start off season. They played on Sunday and looked like the offensive lineman were picked straight off the street strictly for their size and Bulger look like a crash test dummy...

Look, I love to watch ESPN in the morning, but I always find myself disappointed. I either don't see my favorite team (the Cardinals) unless I watch it for two hours, or I see the Boston Red Sox or Yankees twice before the Cardinals...

The Toronto Blue Jays have a strong pitching staff and their hitting is a work in progress. They have the best 1,2,3 punch in the league arguably. Their bullpen is rounded out by a great set-up man and a reliable closer...
